It’s the pre-departure oh my God drive me crazy writeoff monday mental checklist.
Try saying that 3 times fast. While you do that, I’ll be busy very quickly disposing of a departure Monday. This is more of a “God please don’t let me forget something” exercise primarily for me, but if you’re curious just how dead my Monday is, here’s a hint. I … Read the rest

No, I’m not. Would you like me to?
On our way back to Canada before Christmas, we did stumble across the required small amount of duh-worthy amusement that seems to find one or both of us on every trip. This in the form of an overly inquisitive and way too curious customs officer who decided, after establishing that … Read the rest

Thanksgiving in a paragraph, or maybe two.
It isn’t very often the whole group of us gets together for a dinner or anything like that, so when it happens it tends to get all kinds of interesting. Tonight’s thanksgiving get together was no different. We all–Jessica, Julie, her husband, Tasha and myself–headed over to a friend and … Read the rest

I am so here.
As the title says, I made it here intact and about 5 minutes ahead of schedule. We were supposed to be in by quarter past midnight, but ended up actually pulling in at about 10 past, give or take delays. Most of Friday night was spent being all manner of … Read the rest

General updatey goodness, this time from Ottawa! Yay!
Still managed to update in less than a week; something funky must be going on. Last week was pretty uneventful, after my last update with actual substance. Jessica (samari76) has a pretty full schedule, that being primarily work and class, so not a whole hell of a lot … Read the rest

And now an actual update. Yay substance!

Still alive, or at least breathing.
As anyone who’s been following the previously linked twitter page knows, I made it to Rochester in one piece on Friday. Got in at about 12:30 or quarter to 1 saturday morning, and pretty much hung out around here for a couple hours talking. We caught a few hours’ sleep, … Read the rest

Coming up on go time, and…
… I’ve done pretty much everything but the dishes. Tears me up inside to let them go, it does. Really. Ah well, it’s not like they’re going anywhere while I’m gone, in the event I run out of time. As for right now, I’m waiting on only two things. A … Read the rest

Things that must be done pre-road trip, in no particular order.
And maybe, if I’m lucky, I’ll get around to actually doing said things. Toss laundry in the machine Go through stuff I haven’t unpacked yet from the trip to the parentals’ Unpack anything I might need, and pack it with the road trip stuff Wash anything I forgot I didn’t … Read the rest

At the end of the day, Greyhound only mildly pisses me off.
After Wednesday’s rather lengthy song and dance that got me absofuckinglutely nowhere that would be considered anywhere near productive, I pretty much prepared myself this morning for an impressive round or two of fisticuffs over the whole bus ticket incident. But when I got to the station, for the first … Read the rest
